This is the fourth Fishwick-Roberts album on Hard Bop, the previous one having featured Cedar Walton and Peter Washington. When Night Falls is a major step forward and they've enlisted a third hornman whom they met up – and played – with in NYC named Frank Basile, who fits in with them like a glove. A hard-hitter, the facile Frank is obviously a Pepper Adams admirer, while Osian, whose style and sound still recalls the earlier, possibly most feelingful period of Sonny Rollins, is sounding more like his own man. Steve Fishwick's solos here – mostly in the upper register – are beautifully played and always excitingly harmonically edgy. He deserves much wider recognition as a composer too (two tunes, ‘Dear Old London Town’, which gets a wonderful groove going and shows Basile at his most melodic and the enthralling title tune, are his) and his arrangement of the haunting ‘Lost Cave’ is another high spot. ‘Cave’ is composed by the group's interesting new pianist, Albert Sanz from Spain, who adds yet more modernity to the CD. Roberts wrote the two up-tempo tracks, with the closing ‘Some Other Brothers’ bringing out everyone's blues best. Steve's twin, Matt is excellent in support, as is Dave Whitford, whose solos are inventive and consistently soulful. As long as these guys are around, British Bop Lives OK!
